Chapter 405 Honeymoon Trip (V)

The couple relaxed on Sun Island for the whole day and planned to embark on a two-day trip to Mount Taibai on March 3.

Explore the clear blue waters of Tianchi Lake and the majestic Taibai Waterfall, and enjoy the unique geological features, the splendor of the alpine flower fields, and the tranquility of the alpine lakes.

Taibai Mountain, as one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, attracts countless tourists with its magnificent natural scenery and profound historical and cultural heritage.

The scenery along the way is charming, with green mountains and rivers and flowing streams, like a flowing scroll, which makes people feel open-minded and intoxicated.

It was nearly eleven o'clock when the group arrived.

By the time we had arranged accommodation, changing climbing equipment and lunch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

After a brief rest, everyone embarked on a journey to explore the west slope of Mount Taibai.

As it is the off-season, there are few tourists in the scenic area, and only a few individual visitors are strolling around.

However, for them, it was as if they had gained exclusive rights to the entire scenic area and could fully appreciate the magnificent scenery between heaven and earth.

Although the purpose of Jin Qixuan bringing Li Zhien to Taibai Mountain was to prevent fat accumulation from eating and drinking too much these days.

However, when arriving at the entrance of the scenic spot, Jin Qixuan thought about it and decided to hire a sedan chair for Li Zhien.

After all, when she can't crawl anymore, if she asks me to carry her on my back, I will be the one who suffers...

There was no large sedan chair carried by eight people, but a small sedan chair carried by two people was arranged for my wife.

As a result, all four sedan bearers arrived, but Lee Ji-eun refused to get on the sedan.

In her own words, she is not a lazy lady who doesn't know the difference between grains. Besides, she wants to lose weight!
Jin Qixuan didn't believe her lies. Before setting off, he still stuffed two packs of cigarettes and money into the sedan bearers and asked them to follow him along the way in case of emergency.

The sedan bearers readily agreed, after all, this was easy money.

In this way, the group embarked on the mountain climbing journey amid laughter and joy.

Jin Qixuan carried a heavy mountaineering bag, leaned on a trekking pole in one hand, and held Li Zhien's hand with the other, and walked slowly along the winding mountain road.

Along the way, he had a lively chat with the sedan bearers and learned from them a lot of strange stories and historical culture of Mount Taibai.

The higher you go, the more rugged the mountain road becomes and the temperature drops sharply.

It was a sunny afternoon when we set out, but in a blink of an eye it was filled with clouds and mist, and the wind was cold.

Jin Qixuan couldn't help but tighten his windbreaker, and at the same time looked at Li Zhien beside him with concern.

Although she did not say a word about the difficulty, the hair scattered on her forehead was soaked with sweat and her breathing was a little rapid.

"Let's rest for a while."

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan took out a bottle of water from his backpack, unscrewed it, and handed it over.

Lee Ji-eun took the water, tilted her head back and drank a few sips, then leaned against the rocks by the roadside and gently pounded her sore legs.

Jin Qixuan took out a folding chair from his backpack, unfolded it for Li Zhien to sit on, rubbed her legs, and asked with concern:
"Can you still hold on? If not, how about taking a sedan chair?"

"Ah, I'm not that valuable. Besides, it's just climbing a mountain, it's nothing~"

Seeing her calm look, Jin Qixuan hesitated for a moment and said:

"But, this Taibai Mountain is higher than any mountain you have climbed in your life..."

The highest mountain on the peninsula is Hallasan on Jeju Island, with an altitude of 1950 meters.

The height of Taebaek Mountain is almost as high as two Hallasans...

"Tsk, so what? Give me a piece of chocolate and I'll climb to the top to show you!"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to her doubtfully.

After eating a piece of chocolate, Li Zhien felt that she was ready again. She immediately took Jin Qixuan's hand and said with high morale:
"set off!"

The so-called slap in the face should not come too quickly.

After passing the most rugged section of the road, the sedan bearers went down the mountain.

As a result, as soon as they left, Li Zhien leaned on Jin Qixuan's back with no desire to live, like Daiyu reborn, and whispered with her dying breath:

"Hubby, I'm afraid I'm dying. I need you to carry me so I can get better..."

"I'll carry you, can we still reach the summit?"

"I think it would be a shame if we didn't climb to the top now that we're here. What do you think?"

Jin Qixuan: “…”

I think it would be a shame not to reach the top!
……

I finally memorized it.

After all, you should spoil your own wife.

In fact, before coming, Jin Qixuan was prepared to carry her on his back, and for this purpose, he even put a rope in his backpack.

With the help of their own team members, the two were successfully tied together in the same way as Zhu Bajie carried his wife.

As for the mountaineering bags, others will have to take care of them...

In this way, Kim Ki-hyeon carried Lee Ji-eun on his back and walked at a snail's pace on the mountain road of Taebaek Mountain.

Occasionally, tourists coming down the mountain passed by and saw this scene, and they all gave the two a kind smile.

This made Lee Ji-eun feel a little embarrassed. She buried her head in Kim Ki-hyeon's neck and dared not look at anyone.

Jin Qixuan didn't care. After all, it wasn't shameful to work like a slave for his wife!
Gradually, Jin Qixuan finally felt the power of altitude sickness.

Although I wasn't out of breath, my heartbeat quickened with every step, as if it was going to jump out of my chest.

My legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and I was carrying an "iron pot" on my back...

"Honey, am I heavy?"

Lee Ji-eun also noticed Kim Ki-hyeon's obvious changes and asked embarrassedly.

"It's heavy. I carry the whole world on my back. How can it not be heavy?"

"Hey, here you are again, saying cheesy love words again..."

That being said, Lee Ji-eun was already pouting in excitement.

"Rusty? It seems I still have a long way to go..."

"Hmm? What road?"

"The road to conquering Mrs. Kim's heart!"

"..."

Just when Jin Qixuan was about to run out of strength, the group finally arrived at Tianchi.

At this time, it was already past five in the afternoon.

The temperature near Tianchi Lake dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius, and the biting wind on the lake made the place even colder.

Feeling the cold here, Jin Qixuan quickly took out a hat, scarf, and gloves from his backpack and wrapped her up tightly, leaving only a pair of round eyes exposed.

As for Jin Qixuan himself, he wasn't that cold...

The main reason was that I was sweating all the way up carrying Lee Ji-eun on my back, and now the wind was blowing, I felt so uncomfortable.

However, he was not idle. While his wife was enthusiastically taking pictures by the Tianchi Lake with a camera, he also started taking pictures over the Tianchi Lake with a drone.

Taibai Mountain Tianchi is the highest alpine lake in inland my country.

Here, there are no legends of water monsters, no Loch Ness monster, only a pool of clear water, as clear as a mirror, quietly embracing the sky and the mountains, reflecting each other.

When the drone rose high into the sky and overlooked the entire Tianchi Lake, the lake surface looked like a huge gem inlaid between the mountains, sparkling with charming light under the sunlight.

The lake is surrounded by dense forests, like a natural barrier protecting this alpine pearl.

As the drone's camera slowly moved forward, the mountains in the distance appeared and disappeared in the clouds and mist, adding a bit of mystery and magnificence.

After staying here for nearly half an hour, considering that it was getting dark and the mountain road was rugged, everyone prepared to take the cable car down the mountain.

As for other places, let’s wait until tomorrow morning.

"Let's go down the mountain~"

The cable car started slowly and "slid" down the mountain along the steel cable.

"Wow, it's so beautiful~"

Through the glass wall of the cable car, you can see endless mountains and lush green forests. The setting sun casts a golden outline on the mountains, which is magnificent.

As the cable car slowly descends, the mountains are hidden in the veil-like clouds, hazy and ethereal, as if stepping into the secret realm of heaven.

"In this situation, I want to recite a poem!"

Jin Qixuan suddenly burst into a state of chuunibyou spirit, raised his right arm high, stared at the sky, and murmured:

"Oh, the peak of Taibai Mountain is absolutely beautiful!"

"..."

Li Zhien looked at her husband with a dark face, her mouth twitched a few times, and she complained softly:
"Can it be more embarrassing?"

"Haha, I was just teasing you..."

After saying this, Jin Qixuan paused for a moment and then chanted leisurely:

"Surrounded by mountains in Zhongnan, the solitary peak breaks through the cold clouds."

"Snow sprinkles on the green screen painting, how can the autumn wind easily destroy it."

(PS: The original poem was written by Zhu Duo in the Yuan Dynasty - "Taibai Mountain". Considering that the rhythm of ancient poetry is based on the language system of the dynasty at that time, the author has made some changes. Please forgive me.)
"No, you really can? No more playing, no more playing!"

Hearing this, Li Zhien's eyes suddenly widened, her face was full of astonishment, she waved her hands repeatedly, and muttered to herself:
"I've never heard of you having this skill before..."

"Haha, I just know a little bit..."

While the two were talking, the cable car had already arrived at a support.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and the entire cable car shook.

Li Zhien was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly hugged Jin Qixuan's arm tightly.

"Don't be afraid. It's normal for the cable car to vibrate when it passes over the support."

The cable car line is very long, and a support is needed in the middle to support the steel cable. Every time it passes a support, there will be slight or severe bumps.

Although Jin Qixuan was also a little nervous, his wife was in his arms at the moment. If he showed any fear, Li Zhien would definitely be even more scared.

Hearing this, Lee Ji-eun felt a little relieved, but her hands were still tightly wrapped around Kim Ki-hyeon's arms and she refused to let go.

"Hubby, I feel like you are so knowledgeable and talented. I kind of admire you now~"

The "admiration" that Lee Ji-eun mentioned only refers to the fact that she can often find shining points in Kim Ki-hyeon.

As the old saying goes: When you first meet someone, you fall in love with their appearance; when you spend more time together, you fall in love with their talent; when you stay together, you fall in love with their character.

In fact, both of them are people who are rich in life and spirit and have no lack of love.

This is also a necessary condition for becoming a long-term soul mate.

In other words, only those who are not lacking in love can achieve the effect of 1+1>2 when looking for a partner.

Moreover, the young couple has been growing and renewing themselves constantly since they met.

As a result, although the marginal effect began to decrease since the second year, they have undergone many changes in the past year.

Therefore, in each other's eyes, there is always something new to discover about each other.

And this marginal effect will gradually turn into a cycle, decreasing and increasing again, endlessly, painting a long scroll of time until you grow old.

Hearing his wife's praise, Jin Qixuan was naturally happy, but he still had to be modest:
"I don't claim to be erudite, but I have a broad range of knowledge, and I know a little bit about everything..."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Zhien nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and echoed:
“Indeed, it’s shockingly widespread!”

"..."

After a while, the cable car slowly drove into Xiabansi Station.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened.

Mount Taibai under the night sky is less noisy than during the day and more peaceful and mysterious.

"Let's go, let's go to the hotel and rest for a while, and then climb to the top of Batiantai tomorrow morning!"

Jin Qixuan held Li Zhien's little hand and said softly.

"Ok!"

That night, on the hotel bed.

Li Zhien's little hands were touching Jin Qixuan's body in a very dishonest way, just like a gangster who was "inspecting goods".

Although she flirted with him and her intentions were obvious, Jin Qixuan still ruthlessly rejected her rebellious intentions by saying that they had to climb the mountain tomorrow.

After all, after climbing the mountain for an entire afternoon, he was indeed a little tired.

In addition, we have been intimate frequently in recent days, so we really need to exercise some restraint.

Faced with this "polite refusal", Lee Ji-eun curled her rosy lips slightly, turned around angrily, and left Kim Ki-hyeon with a look of "unhappiness" written all over the back of her head.

Although Jin Qixuan knew that Li Zhien's anger was fake and her coquettishness was real, he was exhausted and could only force a smile, slowly put his arms around her slender waist, and whispered softly:
"Okay, don't be angry, go to bed early, we still have to climb the mountain tomorrow."

"Humph!"

Li Zhien snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction, but did not struggle anymore. She finally snuggled up to Jin Qixuan's chest and fell asleep.

At 3:30 in the morning, Jin Qixuan was awakened by the alarm clock.

"Wife, get up and watch the sunrise."

While Jin Qixuan was putting on his clothes, he gently woke up the little person beside him.

Li Zhien rubbed her sleepy eyes drowsily, sat up, and was stunned for nearly a minute before slowly coming back to her senses.

"what time is it?"

"It's half past three."

"Oh, but why do I feel like I just closed my eyes for a short time..."

"..."

Seeing that Lee Ji-eun's brain was still in a state of shutdown, Jin Qixuan picked up the clothes and helped her put them on.

"Come on, raise your hands and lower your head. Yes, that's it..."

With the help of Kim Ki-hyeon, Lee Ji-eun finally put on her clothes in a daze, and then cooperated very well by brushing her teeth and washing her face.

After doing all this, she finally sobered up a little. Yawning, she followed Jin Qixuan out and took the car sent by the hotel to the main peak of Taibai Mountain - Tianwen Peak.

The road leading to Tianwen Peak is a winding mountain road with steep cliffs on one side and bottomless cliffs on the other side, which makes people dizzy.

The driver seemed to be at ease, chatting with Jin Qixuan while driving.

As we were chatting, the car arrived at the destination.

Kim Ki-hyeon held Lee Ji-eun's hand and followed the signposts through a dark pine forest to the top of the Astronomy Peak.

At this time, the air in the mountains was still a little cool, the moon was hanging in the sky, the stars were twinkling, the breeze was blowing gently, and the water was calm.

There are already many tourists gathered at the top of the mountain, some are couples, some are friends, and some are alone.

Everyone was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, holding their cameras, quietly waiting for the sunrise.

Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun found a place to stand and took out their cameras to record this wonderful moment.

"Come out, come out!"

After a long time, someone shouted loudly, and everyone's eyes turned to the east.

I saw a red sun slowly rising from the horizon, spreading its golden light across the world, and all the darkness and frost retreated.

Then, the sky was filled with red clouds, so bright and dazzling that the snow on the mountaintops turned a faint golden red.

Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes full of amazement and longing.

Jin Qixuan didn't say anything either, just watched quietly.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered a sentence:

——The beauty of sunrise lies in the fact that it is born from the deepest darkness.
